NBCUniversal reaches new deal with Suddenlink

Cabler pact covers retransmission for NBC, Telemundo stations

NBCUniversal has a new affiliation deal with Suddenlink, the nation’s seventh largest cabler, covering in and out-of-home viewing of NBCU’s cable networks and retransmission for NBC and Telemundo stations.

The agreement includes expansive rights to carry the 2014 Winter Olympics, on-demand content from NBCUniversal’s cable and broadcast portfolio and access to live channels across multiple platforms, called TV Everywhere. Suddenlink’s service is called Suddenlink2GO.

It’s NBCU’s second deal in a month following a pact with Cablevision that was the Peacock’s first to incorporate TV Everywhere and repped something of a retrans revival for the broadcaster.
